Probing Type I′ String Theory Using D0 and D4-Branes

چکیده
We analyse the velocity-dependent potentials seen by D0 and D4-brane probes moving in Type I background for head-on scattering off the fixed planes. We find that at short distances (compared to string length) the D0-brane probe has a nontrivial moduli space metric, in agreement with the prediction of Type I matrix model; however, at large distances it is modified by massive open strings to a flat metric, which is consistent with the spacetime equations of motion of Type I theory. We discuss the implication of this result for the matrix model proposal for M-theory. We also find that the nontrivial metric at short distances in the moduli space action of the D0-brane probe is reflected in the coefficient of the higher dimensional v term in the D4-brane probe action. ∗ e-mail: justin, adhar, mandal, @theory.tifr.res.in

Creation of Fundamental String in M(atrix) Theory
The potential between two D4-branes at angles with partially unbroken supersymmetry is computed, and is used to discuss the creation of a fundamental string when two such D4-branes cross each other in M(atrix) theory. The effective Lagrangian is shown to be anomalous at 1-loop approximation, but it can be modified by bare Chern-Simons terms to preserve the invariance under the large gauge trans...
متن کاملInteractions of Eight-branes in String Theory and M(atrix) Theory
We consider eight-brane configurations in M(atrix) theory and compute their interaction potentials with gravitons, membranes, and four-branes. We compare these results with the interactions of D8-branes with D0-branes, D2-branes, and D4-branes in IIA string theory.
متن کاملCrystals and intersecting branes
We show that the index of BPS bound states of D4, D2 and D0 branes in IIA theory compactified on a toric Calabi Yau are encoded in the combinatoric counting of restricted three dimensional partitions. Using the torus symmetry, we demonstrate that the Euler character of the moduli space of bound states localizes to the number of invariant configurations that can be obtained by gluing D0 bound st...
متن کاملQuantum Myers effect and its Supergravity dual for D0/D4 systems
The presence of a distant D4-brane is used to further investigate the duality between Mtheory and D0-brane quantum mechanics. A polarization of the quantum mechanical ground state is found. A similar deformation arises for the bubble of normal space found near D0-branes in classical supergravity solutions. These deformations are compared and are shown to have the same structure in each case. In...
متن کاملA note on half-supersymmetric bound states in M-theory and type IIA
By using O(7, 7) transformations, to deform D6–branes, we obtain half-supersymmetric bound state solutions of type IIA supergravity, containing D6, D4, D2, D0, F1-branes and waves. We lift the solutions to M-theory which gives half-supersymmetric M-theory bound states, e.g. KK6–M5–M5–M5–M2–M2–M2–MW. We also take near horizon limits for the type IIA solutions, which gives supergravity duals of 7...
